INTERNATIONAL INVOLVEMENT:
Presented at Oak Genetics IUFRO Working Group in France, 1992
GOALS NEXT 5 YEARS:
Develop a nursery facility, in cooperation with the landscape horticulture faculty, so that
undergraduate and graduate education can be full integrated with research and extension
programs.
Continue to develop production systems for woody plants that increase the efficiency of water
and nutrient use. Initial research suggest significant increases are possible; in a recent study
we found that red oak recovered 4 to 9% of applied nitrogen and blackgum recovered 16 to
26%.
Investigate propagation systems for woody plants, especially native plant seed dormancy
mechanisms and their control.
Increase species diversity in the urban environment by: 1) developing production systems that
maintain high root regeneration and re-growth potential, 2) study plant physiology during
establishment, 3) evaluate transplant establishment and long term performance of under
utilized species.
